  • The agreement converts the companies’ earlier memorandum into a binding hardware contract.
  • Aule’s spacecraft is intended to dock with a passive satellite that provides no cooperative docking interface or active rendezvous assistance.
  • Dawn will deliver a nitrous-oxide-and-propene propulsion system ahead of the planned demonstration mission.

Aule Space develops compact autonomous spacecraft that dock with existing satellites to extend their operating life, support inspection and assist debris-mitigation missions. Its architecture is designed to service targets without purpose-built docking interfaces.
